1. The fact that these espresso-infused confections offer 13% of your daily value of calcium is a bonus. But the most important part is that this five-ingredient dessert is sure to win hearts!

2. We’re taking you and your sweetie back to your childhood roots, unknowingly flirting on the playground playing tag and hide-and-seek… and even sharing a PB & J sandwich!
Get nostalgic with our Peanut Butter & Jam Bread Pudding recipe.

3. A mere five ingredients go into making this five-star finale, comprised of a batch of individual, swoon-worthy cheesecakes smothered in a simple caramel sauce. Caution: These may leave you both weak in the knees.

4. Cake Pops might have peaked in popularity, but they’re still piquing our interest – especially when there’s carrot cake on the inside and a chocolate dip!
Once you pop you can’t stop – get the Chocolate-Covered Carrot Cake Pops recipe.

5. Take it from our hunky Jan/Feb 2013 issue male chef, James Smith: This recipe spells seduction with a capital S! Smooth, creamy chocolate, sweet ’n’ tart cherries, vanilla… oh my.
Check out the Chocolate Yogurt Mousse with Vanilla Cherry Compote recipe.

6. All you need to whip up this pretty post-dinner treat is 10 minutes, but the payoff will last far longer. It’s the perfect way to end off a Middle Eastern–inspired meal.

7. An exclusive recipe from Nigel Slater’s Ripe cookbook, this rustic dessert is a breath of fresh air – simple, light and lovely – for all of you lucky enough to have peaches in February!
Take a look at the Baked Peaches with Maple Syrup & Vanilla recipe.

8. With their graham cracker crusts and luscious, oh-so-creamy cheesecake tops, it’s hard to believe these lime-laced squares are just 128 calories (major brownie points!).

9. Treat your amore to a sweet delight by making the classic Italian pie into a nutritious dessert, topped with chocolate, fruit and coconut!

10. Making a batch of these babies is a win-win. Not only will you and your love have a scrumptious, 145-calorie delight post-dinner but you can also freeze the leftovers for quick (clean!) breakfasts.

11. BONUS! Oldies but goodies, these fudgy cakes have stolen many a heart – not only with their seductively rich and oozing chocolate but also their calorie count!
